Don't know of any way to do so - "selection" isn't a concept with which the
clipboard is familiar... all it knows is "content":-) Have you tried using
Edit Paste Special - Unformatted Text (or Unformatted Unicode Text) rather
than just slapping the stuff in?
If this is content being copied from the web you may find the following to
be useful:

Whenever I paste copied text into a Word document, the insertion point
moves
to the end of the pasted text. How can I get Word to paste the text and
leave
it selected?
Typically after pasting, I select the pasted text and do a Search and
Replace to remove unnecessary paragraphs/line breaks from the pasted text.
Thanks,
Chris
